Hey guys/gals,
many people gave me their opinions on who is gonna win the 2001 olympia, but nobody talked about Nasser El-Sonbaty. I think he is great, although he wasn't in good shape at all in the past two olympia's. What do you all think?

Wow...he looked really great this year at the O...but didn't rank as high as I thought he should have...and I think the audience agreed with me....

He really improved since last year....

I agree..

but he has a horrible back.. very little detail or thickness.. the lower back is poor as well. He lacks detail. I has the oppurtunity to hang with Shawn Ray at the 1999 Arnold Classic Prejudging.. he said the same thing.

He is awesome, however he needs to on my opinion devote most of his time to his back!!!

I would have to agree on the lack of detail in his back...

Now..Jay Cutler...WOW..what a come back! He looked awesome. Many thought he should have taken the O....but really...who could ever compete with the bull-like look of Ronnie?

I do agree that Ronnie was in a really superior shape this year, but I think that Jay had better strong points, especially in the waist line. But both of them deserved first place, thats why Ronnie almost lost the battle.
